Pediatric Ocular Trauma during Eid Festivities in Yemen.

CONCLUSIONS: The causes of ocular injuries are diverse and tend to vary by geographical area. In particular, their incidence can increase during holidays, especially long ones. Usually, eye injuries with toy guns result in significant trauma that requires medical intervention and hospitalization with potential long-term eye complications. Public health workers need to conduct health education program to alert parents and health professionals to the danger of such toys. PMID: 32495526 [PubMed - in process]
